Chapter 49 Proud of Her
After checking the wheat fields, Su Heng was surrounded and taken to the brigade's threshing ground.
She was really not used to the sudden kindness and enthusiasm of the villagers towards her. It was no exaggeration to say that the way those aunts looked at her was full of love, as if they were looking at their own daughters.
In this era when most people cannot get enough food, food is of paramount importance. It is not surprising that Su Heng receives such treatment.
The threshing ground is right in front of the warehouse where villagers usually get their tools. There is a simple wooden platform next to it, and sometimes a projectionist comes to show movies.
At this time, the field was as lively as a movie. Many people brought small stools to sit in the front, and people in the back row simply stood. The threshing ground was filled with a crowd.
Although the people were the same as usual, she had seen big scenes before, but this scene was a bit too formal.
She seemed to have also seen the big red flowers prepared by the branch secretary and others under the stage.
Su Heng suddenly felt a little socially anxious. She turned around to look at Lu Mingchuan and found that he was looking at her.
Perhaps he saw the retreat in her eyes, Lu Mingchuan chuckled and patted her shoulder: "Go, I'll go with you."
"Okay, let's go." Su Heng smiled brightly.
Captain Zhao standing by suddenly felt a toothache. This young man is just so clingy.
Some people in the audience had already seen them and were enthusiastically inviting Su Heng to go on stage.
When they walked to the front of the stage, the branch secretary and his entourage also saw Su Heng and the others. He held a big loudspeaker and immediately signaled everyone to be quiet.
The noisy conversation soon stopped, and for a moment, the only sound on the field was the chirping of cicadas in the trees.
The branch secretary turned over and jumped onto the stage, motioning Su Heng to go up the side steps.
Lu Mingchuan has been arranged to sit in the front row. This honor belongs exclusively to Su Heng, and it is a great honor for him to be able to watch from the family seats.
Su Heng walked onto the stage from the side, and thunderous applause suddenly broke out from the audience.
As expected, the big red flower was prepared for her.
The first step of the commendation meeting was for the women's director to tie the big red flower with red silk on Su Heng's chest.
There was another round of applause, and then the branch secretary picked up the loudspeaker and began to speak: "In recognition of Comrade Su Heng's outstanding contribution to the Red Star Production Brigade, we hereby..."
Su Heng listened to the branch secretary's passionate speech and couldn't help but look at the stage below. Lu Mingchuan was looking up at her.
Their eyes met, and it seemed like she was looking down at this person from a superior position for the first time. His eyes were very gentle, as if he was proud of her.
The hot wind blew across my cheeks, and even my heart felt hot for a moment.
Su Heng looked away as if nothing had happened. There were many familiar faces in the audience, all looking at her.
Her friends, Chen Xiang, Luo Yan, and Song Wan also came, and they all smiled and applauded her.
The feeling of being honored was wonderful. Su Heng then felt that he had really done something great for the people.
On the other side, Director Zhou of the commune, I don’t know whether he was lucky or unlucky, but he also rushed to the city to find his superiors that day.
When the leader heard that all the wheat in the brigade below was infected with the disease, he took it very seriously and helped contact an expert, but the expert had already gone to another commune below to check the situation.
So Director Zhou waited in the city for two days. The expert only returned to the city this morning, and he hurried to invite him.
However, by the time the experts arrived at the Hongxingji Brigade, the commendation meeting there was almost over.
"Persist in studying the great man's thoughts, lead the vast majority of poor and lower-middle peasants to closely follow the great man's strategic deployment, and firmly follow the socialist path!"
…
"The brigade has collectively decided to reward Comrade Su Heng with 1,000 work points and 100 yuan for medical expenses!"
As soon as he finished speaking, applause broke out from the audience.
Su Heng was stunned. This was too much!
But the branch secretary and the people in the audience didn't think it was too much. If it weren't for Su Heng, the brigade's food rations would be a problem.
Many elderly people will never forget the shadow of the famine in the early years.
Professor Pu, who had hurriedly arrived at Hongxingji on a bicycle with Director Zhou, looked at the huge crowd in front of him and the commendation.
With a puzzled look on his sweaty face, he asked, "What are you doing?"
The wheat is so seriously ill, how could the people here not be worried?
Director Zhou didn’t know either, and he was even more confused.
Old Chen and his men are not in a hurry to save the crops, but are still thinking about holding a commendation meeting. What are they commending for?
"I'll go ask."
When Professor Pu and his assistant arrived at the threshing ground, the applause just stopped and the "ring-ring-ring" sound of bicycle bells immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Lao Chen, Lao Zhao, what are you doing? I've brought experts here."
Professor Pu also followed, but he didn't have any expert airs.
"Director Zhou has examined me. My condition is quite serious. There are not many drugs that can treat it. I still need to go to the field to take a closer look. When you are done, please find someone to take me there."
If the situation wasn't so dire, he could also think of ways to treat it with affordable methods.
When everyone heard this, they asked, "Expert?"
But all their wheat was saved.
However, even the experts said that the serious illness was cured by their own people in their team, which is really an honor.
Secretary Chen coughed awkwardly, and Captain Zhao, who had been anxiously urging Director Zhou the day before yesterday, also kept hitting his head.
Secretary Chen said again, "The wheat has been cured. We are holding a commendation meeting for Comrade Su Heng."
"What?"
The three people who had hurried all the way here were all stunned.
Director Zhou didn't expect that by the time he went to get help, the problem had already been resolved and the commendation meeting was held. He thought he might not have woken up yet.
Pu Fengliang was very surprised that the disease that he himself thought was difficult to treat could be cured by a little girl.
He immediately asked, "Did this young comrade cure it? He's truly a young talent. Could you please take me to the field to have a look?"
Director Zhou also said, "Yes, let me introduce you. This is Professor Pu Fengliang, an agricultural expert. It would be safer if he could take a look."
Pu Fengliang? This expert who looks like an ordinary farmer is actually Pu Fengliang!
Su Heng never thought that she would meet a famous person in the textbook when she traveled through the book. This person was an academician who had achieved a series of agricultural achievements such as improving wheat seeds, increasing yields and resisting pests.
Of course, he is still an ordinary professor now.
Of course it’s okay if he wants to go and see it, Su Heng nodded.
The commendation meeting just ended. Su Heng took the 100 yuan he had just received and rode his bicycle to take the experts to the field.
Captain Zhao did not forget to take Lu Mingchuan back with him.
The people in the team went to work, and those who did not went to the fields to watch the fun out of curiosity.
Pu Fengliang also brought the wheat seedling that Director Zhou gave him. When he arrived at the field, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
this……
It only took one day to get rid of the lesion!
He squatted down and took a closer look, then turned to look at Su Heng as if he was looking at a rare genius.
"Young Comrade, how did you treat it? Could you tell me about it? How much did the medicine cost?"
Su Heng sighed and said:
"Of course, the cost is huge. As you can probably tell, this disease isn't particularly rare. The main problem is the lack of medicine. However, the recovery ability of this batch of wheat is truly amazing. If you'd like to research it, you can take a sample back."
This batch of wheat may be of great help to his research.
